Log with Ianto: The Proof is in the Pudding
Sulu knew that this was one of those Terrible, Horrible, Rotten, No Good ideas that he was occasionally prone to having. He was grounded, after all; inviting Ianto over to prove that he wasn't just making up the things he'd been talking about was kind of pointless if you couldn't get to the car to prove any of it.
Still, he'd heard his parents leave to visit his aunt in Bakersfield, so... why not? It wasn't like they'd notice - he was really good at hiding his tracks. So, he'd invited Ianto out to prove that his universe really was all he'd said it was. It was the least he could do to prove he was seriously as awesome as he made himself out to be, after all. So, he waited in his room for the inevitable worldhopping Ianto Jones, wondering if that was too specific a place but figuring that worldhopping itself was already pretty specific an art.

Once he finished, he added, "We can hit up a souvenir shop even, if you want. 'S not like any of that's expensive."

"Yeah, alright," he said, with a bit of a smile. "Dunno what I might find, but it's worth a shot. Could always get...I'm not even sure. Nothing that'd stand out too much when I'm from..." For all he knew, even mechanical pencils were complicated now.

Once Sulu had paid for their meal, he waved towards the stairs back down to the main boardwalk. "C'mon, we'll find something to do. Even if it's just hanging out by the water or something."

He led Ianto down the stairs, then turned to head down the boardwalk, towards the huge, 2-story carousel that had been on the pier since the 20th century, even if it barely showed after so many renovations.

"I thought you said carousel," he said to the other boy, "not...whatever the hell that is. I'm not even sure..." Carousels weren't supposed to have multiple stories, as far as Ianto was concerned.

This, though, kept with the theme; there were sea lions, dragons, horses - though they'd also installed animals from other Federation planets, some of which Sulu didn't remember the name of. He smirked at Ianto, "Almost makes you want to go on, huh?"
no subject
At Sulu's question, Ianto raised an eyebrow. "Makes me want to go on a carousel?" he asked, making a bit of a face. "I'm from the past, and I'm from Wales, but that doesn't make me bloody five years old, mate," he said, half-incredulously, half really rather amused at it all.

It was a street performance, like Sulu'd suggested. Not an Orion dance (which was slightly sad, because Ianto's curiosity had been peaked), but some sort of alien street magician instead. At least, that's what it appeared to be to Ianto. He wasn't sure what was going on, exactly, how much of it was technology that he just had no idea existed, all that sort of thing. It was impressive though. Ianto could see why it had drawn a crowd. He watched for a good five minutes or so, mesmerized, before turning to comment to Sulu about it...and not finding him. Ianto cast a glance around, his heartbeat speeding up as he realized...he couldn't see the other boy anywhere. And calling out to him was absolutely out of the question.
no subject
After a few minutes, Sulu realized that Ianto wasn't saying much of anything; he looked over his shoulder, expecting to see the other absorbed by the magic show - and instead didn't see him at all. Immediately, Sulu's mind went blank save for the thought that he'd lost a 20th century kid in the 23rd century, and he was sure that Starfleet would find out and then where would he be? In jail or something, probably, if he didn't destroy the universe from losing him. He shook his head - need to keep it together - and started moving slowly through the crowd, not thinking to call out for Ianto in case somebody asked him what was going on.
